Volume 6: Secret Invasion Chapter 4: The impolite entry is the classic starting point of the story
"This used to be Queens. I can't imagine how much money he spent to transform it into what it is now."
In the evening, Mason enjoyed his leisure time in his pajamas on the balcony of the luxurious Parker Mansion.
He stared at the brightly lit Parker Building across the street, and realized belatedly that the building in front of him might be the shabby apartment where Peter Parker and Aunt May lived.
This deepened his understanding of Zhang Parker, a contradictory guy.
That guy must have some sort of severe OCD.
Especially when it comes to Peter Parker and Dr. Otto, he always behaves in a very extreme way.
But meeting Zhang Parker was only an episode in this journey. Mason could still feel that the world was covered with dark clouds, as if a veil of peace was covered before his eyes, and undercurrents had already surged inside.
He had just asked Zhang Parker what he thought about the recent superhero registration bill, and Zhang's answer to that was "idiot", which was very concise and clear and made his attitude clear.
A responsible and famous entrepreneur like him would never get involved in such a mess.
"Aren't you going to sleep yet, sweetheart?"
Harley took a pendant stealthily and wanted to give it to Mason, but Mason soon discovered the clue. He picked up the beautifully carved eagle pendant, glanced at the uneasy Harley, and said:
"Emma did this? There's psychic power floating on it. What's its effect?"
"You need to sleep at least three hours a day."
Harry couldn't lie in front of Mr. K, so he could only answer honestly:
"It was Emma's idea. She thinks you can't go on like this. Even a 'water man' can't stand staying up late every day like this."
"I appreciate her kindness, but not tonight."
Mason waved his hand, and a dozen seconds later, raindrops began to fall on the block. He closed his eyes and felt the movement of the rain wherever it fell.
Three streets away, several cars were slowly stopping, a special aircraft in the sky had been circling several times, and a maintenance worker was busy near the power supply device near Parker Mansion.
The SHIELD logo beneath his coat was faintly visible in the darkness.
"Thirty-seven people, they should be the elite agents responsible for the perimeter. They are setting up an early warning defense line."
Mason whispered to Harley beside him:
"If the other party already knows that we are superhumans, then they will definitely send out forces of the same level to try to capture or kill us. Therefore, there should be at least a fully armed super-powered team in the optically cloaked aircraft 2,000 meters above our heads.
If we are unlucky, the person who rushes in might be the Avenger of this world.
My guess is it's either Agent Hawkeye or Agent Natasha, or maybe both of them together... The Tech Agents are preparing the EMP.
Three, two, one! "
"Shua"
Mason's countdown ended, and all the lights in the villa where he and Harley spent the night went out in an instant.
Harley immediately called for Venom, and then jumped into the front yard with her dog, alertly preparing to fight the assault agent who was approaching. Mason looked up at the spot, and the rain curtain around him intensified at this moment.
It allowed him to more clearly sense the outlines of several people who were suddenly attacking from the sky.
"Natasha Romanoff, Crossbones, Leaper, Clint Barton... Wait, this Hawkeye has a robotic arm? Cool! Should I call you 'Winter Hawkeye'?"
As soon as he finished speaking, three black arrows shot down from the sky, accelerating with gravity and accurately hitting the triangular area next to Mason.
Then special energy burst out from the arrow, and Mason felt that his control over the rain was suppressed. The originally rhythmic rain drops turned into a chaotic sound of rain hitting banana leaves.
Bang Bang Bang
Four muffled landing sounds were heard under the increasingly noisy rain, and four super-powered agents wearing armor very similar to the Mark series armor quickly gathered together.
They could see that the target had been knocked down by the "anti-mutant energy arrow" shot by Hawkeye, so they prepared to encircle him while being alert.
"Agent Hill, we have sighted our target, please confirm his identity."
Natasha Romanoff turned on the probe of her armor and transmitted the image of Mason lying on the ground to the commander. A few seconds later, Agent Hill's cold voice sounded in the communication:
"Confirmed! There should be another woman who can control the symbiote. Capture them alive and kill them if necessary! Quick action, agents. Zhang Parker has great power in the official circles. Complete the recovery before he intervenes."
Agent Natasha made a tactical gesture in the dark, and Crossbones and Leapman immediately stepped forward, while Hawkeye maintained the aiming action.
Crossbones approached Mason and kicked him. After confirming that he was unconscious, he bent down and tried to pick Mason up. However, as soon as he stretched out his hand, Mason in front of him "melted" and turned into a ball of mud.
This immediately made several agents alert.
At the same time, the scandium alloy projectile accelerated to seven times the speed of sound by the electromagnetic rail pierced through the bow in Hawkeye's hand in three consecutive hits of rapid gun drawing, and also tore open Natasha's armor and left two horrific penetrating wounds on her waist and abdomen.
Mason has done tests in his own laboratory and found that projectiles made of this material are powerful enough to penetrate all Stark suits from Mark 31 onwards under this kinetic energy.
All I can say is that the agents of SHIELD don’t seem to know what kind of enemy they are fighting against.
"Bye, bikini."
Mason, who was hiding in the corner of the yard, complained expressionlessly.
He retracted the electromagnetic gun, drew Johnny's gun from his waist, and then snapped his fingers as he stood up in the night rain.
Hawkeye, who was about to rescue Natasha, saw a ball of fire rolling in the rain. With a sharp cry, Phoenix Fox crashed into the "Winter Hawkeye" in front of him.
The Mark armor, which had weakened its defense in order to maintain its flexibility, could not withstand the burning of the Phoenix Fire and was almost burned through immediately. Clint retreated while struggling to break free from the hot armor, but the accurate gunfire from behind in the dark night forced him to lie down in a panic and move to the injured Natasha, ready to evacuate her.
Kevin, the slime monster who felt very comfortable in the rainy night, howled and split into two, transforming into the appearance of good friends Batman and Superman, raising his fists and fighting with Crossbones and Jumping Man.
The raid failed, and elite peripheral agents immediately rushed to the rescue.
But Harley, who had been lying in ambush, pressed the detonator with a wicked smile, and sparks exploded in the rainy night. People and horses were thrown to the ground and poisoned. Harley rushed forward dragging a baseball bat and her dog, and the chaotic battle was over in a few minutes.
"Snap"
A biological decoy bomb was dropped at Crossbones' feet, but it was not a special type designed to detect Skrulls.
The moment the gene interference energy exploded, the elite agent who could still block Kevin's punch turned into a giant crocodile shaking its head and tail.
He simply couldn't adapt to this mutation, and Kevin didn't give him a chance.
The Drama Slime came forward and wrapped itself around Crossbones, knocking him to the ground. Leaping Man tried to run away, but Mason shot him seven times from behind and knocked him down. He was then hit on the head with a baseball bat by Harley.
The sound of rain got louder.
With the crisp sound of the magazine being replaced, Winter Hawkeye, who was holding Agent Natasha, knew that the team had reached a desperate situation.
"I heard your communication."
Mason opened his penguin umbrella in the rain and said to the two agents hiding behind the bunker:
"Maria Hill sent you? The order was to kill? How heartless. Looks like poor Agent Hill lasted less than eight hours.
This is enough to prove that the SHIELD you are loyal to has essentially collapsed. The situation is worse than I thought. Those pretenders have completely infiltrated the violent organization.
They want to see you die in my hands, or I die in your hands.
Either outcome would be of no harm to them.
Come out, Clint, and Natasha.
We need to talk.”
Mason is trying to persuade them to surrender.
But this was useless to a senior person who had been dealing with agents all his life. Hawkeye prepared to resist. He pulled out a special arrow from his quiver, grabbed the spare bow, and said to Agent Natasha, who had just done emergency hemostasis in her arms:
"I'll hold you back, and you break through!"
"No."
Natasha, whose face had turned pale, covered her wound and whispered:
"There's something wrong with that bullet. I'm getting weaker. This is not normal."
"Snap"
With two hands on the shoulders of Hawkeye Agent and Natasha, Mason appeared like a ghost from the rain behind them without any warning and whispered:
"Of course it's not normal! If the cursed metal is not sent back, you will remain weak until you bleed out."
The two agents tensed up their bodies and wanted to fight back, but the "backflow" of blood in their bodies made them both lose the strength to fight back.
Hawkeye swung his robotic arm and smashed it towards Mason, but the latter grabbed the connection point of the robotic arm with his backhand and tore it off with his five fingers, dropping it at his feet.
"I know the blueprints for the Winter Soldier's arm by heart, the one you're using is outdated, Clint, and Agent Hill didn't even tell you what my powers are.
She has clearly ‘experienced’ it.”
Mason shook his head at the two captured agents and said:
"Now you know who is the cannon fodder sent to die, right? Don't struggle, especially you, Natasha, if you don't want your heart to burst.
Relax.
I will give you first aid , you will not die."
"Shua"
The next second, Zhang Parker, wearing a spider suit, fell from the night sky and squatted on the stone pillar next to Mason in Spider-Man's iconic posture. He said dissatisfiedly:
"Can you keep the noise down? Aunt Mei was almost woken up when she fell asleep! Why are you still keeping them here? They are trespassing into private areas without permission, so just kill them and throw them out.
I will take you to S.H.I.E.L.D. to discuss the matter tomorrow."
"You can't come back once you go, Mr. Zhang."
Mason rolled his eyes and said:
"Find someone to clean up this place. They will be useful to me after I treat their injuries. These four are our 'own people'."
"Oh? Then tell me, is this person rushing towards us one of ours?"
Mr. Zhang tapped his wrist and an optical projection popped up.
In the aerial surveillance, a motorcycle was speeding towards the villa. The driver was wearing a leather jacket and his figure could not be seen clearly, but he had a shield on his back.
This guy rolled nimbly near the wall, landed lightly, grabbed the shield, and posed in a cool and handsome posture, ready to join the battle.
However, the next second, this guy made eye contact with Mason and Zhang Parker who were staring at him, and for a moment, the three of them fell into a kind of speechless embarrassment.
The latter's posture is very handsome and very cool.
The round shield that made a sound in the raindrops was a classic red and blue color combination, and the blue battle suit under the flight jacket represented the identity of the newcomer. Natasha, who was pinned down by Mason, struggled and said:
"Captain? Aren't you... missing?"
"I didn't disappear, Natasha. I just hid. These are two different things."
As Mason's expression changed slightly, the person in front of him stood up confidently, took off her hood, and shook her long hair, revealing a standard Western female face.
Zhang Parker curled his lips and said:
"Well, Margaret 'Peggy' Carter, what do you want to do by breaking into my home?"
“Help!”
Captain Carter put his round shield back behind him, put his hands on his hips and said:
"I knew something was wrong when I received the news that SHIELD was planning to raid Parker Industrial Park. I was still a step late despite my haste. But don't worry, we are friends, right? Xiao Zhang, you still owe me a few favors.
You have a big family and a big business, so you probably won't care about these little things, right?"
"etc!"
Seeing Zhang Parker and Captain Carter chatting excitedly, Mason reacted and shouted:
"What's going on? How did Carter Page become Captain America? Where is Steve Rogers in this world? Did he become Iron Man?
I said there is something wrong with this world!"
"Steve Rogers is indeed the first Iron Man, and there is nothing wrong with what you said."
Zhang Parker snorted and said sarcastically:
“But considering that you’re an outsider, I won’t laugh at you for graduating with a zero in history, right?
Let me introduce you to the role model of women around the world, the pioneer of the Allied forces in World War II, the greatest and first superhero..."
"It's not like I don't know her identity!"
Mason looked up and down at Captain Carter, who had a very slender figure, and emphasized:
"I just think the gender is a bit problematic, but you're right, it's not a big deal, I've met a Slaanesh Spider-Man and a blackened horse lawyer, and I've also got a Hawkeye with the Winter Soldier's arms.
It wouldn’t be a big deal to have another female captain.”
Mason took a deep breath to calm himself down. He looked at the heroic Peggy Carter in front of him and said:
"You know what the really important issue is?"
"Yes. Hill passed me a piece of information about the Skrulls at noon."
Captain Carter said seriously:
“But three hours ago, she sent me a fake address to try to lure me in, and you, who provided her with information, were attacked by S.H.I.E.L.D.
I guess this agent came under Hill's name?"
"Maybe you can guess a little more boldly."
Mason looked at Hawkeye and Natasha, who were completely confused, and said with a curled lip:
"Maria Hill has been replaced! In the five hours since she returned to SHIELD with the information, another 'partner of justice' has been shamefully kidnapped.
And the stubborn cannon fodder still thinks I am deceiving them.
Captain Carter, it seems that you are ready for battle. Since Mr. Zhang has been woken up, don't go back to sleep. Wait for me to give Natasha first aid in 30 minutes and then we will set off. "
"Where are you going, sweetheart?"
Harry ran over with a bloody baseball bat and asked. Mason reached out and tapped his watch, looking at the shining red dot, and said:
“Go save her! According to the tracker in her skin, Maria Hill is now at the dock in New York Harbor. If she is too weak or too far away, the bioelectric tracker will fail.
My suggestion is that if you still have any weapons that can turn the situation around, you might as well use them now.
The Skrulls are closing in on you and you don't have much time to react."
"Hill had the communicator left by Fury, and the Skrulls were coming aggressively, but Stark was distracted by something else and didn't notice the real threat.
The only chance to turn things around is now.”
In the cold night rain, Captain Carter said in a deep voice:
"Agent Hill must be rescued! At any cost."
